A count on Tuesday saw Ms Dawkins as the clear winner with 7000 votes out of a possible 10,400.
Tasmanian Electoral Commissioner Julian Type said the count will still continue into the afternoon but that Ms Dawkins had the majority.
''It is absolutely crystal clear that she has won the seat for Bass,'' Mr Type said.
Ms Dawkins won the seat over five other candidates including Andrew Connor of the Australian Labor Party, Brian Lockwood Gunst, Mark Edward Hines and Tim Parish of the Palmer United Party and Brett Edward Lucas.
